London, UK, 22nd August 2012: Nikon today boosts its COOLPIX range with the colourful COOLPIX S6400, a seriously stylish high zoom camera that makes taking pictures of family and friends fun. Adding a chic touch to every photo and movie you capture, the ultra-thin COOLPIX S6400 is operated by a 7.5 cm (3.0-in.) touch screen so you can review pictures easily, and apply a range of creative photo effects. Meanwhile, the 16-megapixel, backlit CMOS sensor combines with the 12x optical zoom to deliver vivid photos and movies in any light.

James Loader, Product Manager for Consumer Products at Nikon UK, comments: “The COOLPIX S6400 combines easy to use functionality with stylish good looks. Easy Auto Modes allow you to concentrate on framing your subject, whilst the camera does all the hard work. Small and compact, the new camera is ideal for slipping in your pocket or handbag for a night out or when travelling. Available in five colours, there is a colour to suit every personality.”

Compact beauty

Beautifully sharp images and the ability to capture a wide variety of photo opportunities need not be limited to bigger camera models. Despite its slender 19.8mm body[1], the COOLPIX S6400 packs a 12x wide-angle optical zoom NIKKOR lens, so you can zoom in for a classy close up or zoom out to snap a big group of friends.

In any light

Whether you’re photographing a perfect sunset, a dusky concert, or a romantic candlelit dinner, you’ll really notice the benefits of the back illuminated 16-megapixel CMOS sensor. With each pixel receiving more light, this highly sensitive image sensor works with the EXPEED C2 processor to deliver clear shots at any time of day or night.

A smart touch

There’s no need to choose between brains and looks with the COOLPIX S6400. A sophisticated 7.5 cm (3.0-in.) 460k-dot, wide LCD touchscreen enables intuitive fingertip control over shooting and playback thanks to smooth touch technology and Nikon’s Clear Color Display anti-reflection coating. You can even take your shot by pressing where you want to focus on the screen and the picture will be captured instantly. Once you’ve taken the shot you want, Quick Effect mode means you can instantly apply extra style. Press the effect icon on the camera’s touchscreen to choose from thumbnails of 19 different effects, including toy camera, selective colour and paint effect.

Full HD (1080p) movie recording with stereo sound

Get Full HD filming on demand, with a dedicated movie-record button which instantly switches from photos to video, and zoom in on the action with the 12x lens. The Record Pause function lets you pause and then continue filming, and the camera creates one movie file for smooth playback.

Other key features

Intelligent Control AF System: the camera automatically selects the best focus method for sharp results whatever your subject is, and wherever it’s positioned in the frame.
